"It's so nice to see you attempting to be better for your son, it's always lovely to see people working hard for a better tomorrow especially if it's for someone, I'm wishing you luck on your journey. It'll be hard, but worth it! I can promise that!"
Okay, I have no idea if this is too close or anything to regular one-line threads, but... Here's a new thread! It's your usual IC game, but with only dialogue. Unless your OC announces what they're doing/going to do, it can pretty much just be interpreted as a conversation. So no action beyond those quotation marks, basically!
As always, rules:
- No NSFW! Please.
- Sensitive content is allowed, but please spoil it/black it out. If you aren't sure, it's better to be safe than sorry.
- You can post after every 3 people, unless 2 days have passed. I'll change this if this takes off.
- There are no limits to length. You can make your character say a single word, or a wall of rambling. Just be aware that you can't be upset if the person below you didn't match your length! This is meant to be somewhat low-effort, so that's your warning.
- Follow-ups are allowed, but must be dialogue-only as well.
I'm probably forgetting something, but whatever! The person below me may get a free claim. If this posts IC, ignore it, I'll tell off whichever OC did it later.
"Hello there, smaller mechanical being! I must say, the work you do helping others like you is very marvellous, very much so! I could only dream to see the good in everyone, sometimes I feel as if I can't even trust my own subordinates, haha… nevertheless, why I really came here today to meet you is to request that you join my mothership to help smooth out some things. If you cannot, for any reason, it's… completely fine! We're all busy with our own duties, after all."
"Wh-which duties? Apparently I-I'm next in line to guard the lighthouse back where I live... but I'd rather sail with Halifax's crew... The lighthouse is big and scary... and I don't want that duty to be all alone up there like my dad was! I don't want my mum to have me go through that horrible experience all for duties..."

"I can't help it... I-- the-- ummmm... it rubbed off on me from my dad! I wasn't like this before! I promise... ummm... it is true about th-th-the smell of the sea is gross but I got used to it! E-e-eventually..."
"Timidity in a sailor is counterproductive. Not that it matters -- the inconsequential nature of your existence means little to one concerned more with the inability of those on land. But the sea, I find, has too strange of a scent. And it clings to you. It is not fresh. It smells like salt and dead fish before it does water."
v "This is foolish. Okay."
^ "You're absolutely right. Delighted to have you."
"Come, love, come here, sit! Take this. I want to see how fast you can solve a Rubik's cube, and then also how fast you can solve a Rubik's cube drunk."
v "... Consider me flattered. It's hard work, love, but more rewarding than any other hard work I've done. If you'd ever like to fix that last part, there's no better escort money can buy than the Sugar."
^^ "You have charm and I can get behind that. That would be lovely"
”Oh my. How interesting you are~ You’re just dashing mi cielo. You have a sharp mind. Tell me, what was life like at sea? I can’t say I’ve ever been.”
vv "Is that so? Well don't get too confident dear, I'd say I could handle you fine~"
